Ever tried flipping a pancake and it lands on the floor? That's the tragic version of `ibaliktad`. It's what you do to your pillow to get to the cold side. In an argument, it's when someone twists your words and makes you the bad guy. "Paano mo inibaliktad ang kwento? Ako pa ang may kasalanan ngayon?"
From `i-` (causative prefix) + `baliktad` (upside down, inside out).
